lsp-timeout.nvim
A Neovim plugin that automatically stops idle LSP servers and restarts them on focus to reduce RAM usage.
What is lsp-timeout.nvim?
lsp-timeout.nvim is a Neovim plugin that automatically manages Language Server Protocol (LSP) server lifecycles to optimize memory usage. It stops idle LSP servers and restarts them when needed, such as upon regaining window focus, preventing excessive RAM consumption and keeping Neovim responsive.
Neovim users who utilize nvim-lspconfig and work with memory-inefficient LSP servers that can consume gigabytes of RAM if left running. It is particularly valuable for developers on systems with limited memory or those who keep Neovim open for extended periods.
Developers choose this plugin to automatically mitigate memory bloat from poorly optimized LSP servers, ensuring Neovim remains fast without manual intervention. Its unique selling point is the automatic stop-and-restart mechanism triggered by window focus events, which directly targets a common pain point in LSP setups.
